We just went thru this here and discovered the following:

The Root Directory on a 360k floppy is limited to 112 entries --
		that includes subdirectories, files, vol. label
		if I read the manual right (and Norton's Programmers
		guide)  the number of files in a subdirectory is
		limited by disk space only.

I'm NOT sure that the same root directory limitation applies to 
high-density disks or hard disks, but I do believe that subdirectories
are dynamic, and limited only by the disk space.
